Turning to the Washington political infrastructure as a whole, 6-in-10 Americans (60%) feel that unelected or appointed government officials have too much influence in determining federal policy. Just 26% say the right balance of power exists between elected and unelected officials in determining policy. Democrats (59%), Republicans (59%) and independents (62%) agree that appointed officials hold too much sway in the federal government.

“We usually expect opinions on the operation of government to shift depending on which party is in charge. But there’s an ominous feeling by Democrats and Republicans alike that a ‘Deep State’ of unelected operatives are pulling the levers of power,” said Murray.

Few Americans (13%) are very familiar with the term “Deep State;” another 24% are somewhat familiar, while 63% say they are not familiar with this term. However, when the term is described as a group of unelected government and military officials who secretly manipulate or direct national policy, nearly 3-in-4 (74%) say they believe this type of apparatus exists in Washington. This includes 27% who say it definitely exists and 47% who say it probably exists. Only 1-in-5 say it does not exist (16% probably not and 5% definitely not). Belief in the probable existence of a Deep State comes from more than 7-in-10 Americans in each partisan group, although Republicans (31%) and independents (33%) are somewhat more likely than Democrats (19%) to say that the Deep State definitely exists.

I find it ironic that the Deep State is panicked by the thought that the public knows that the Deep State exists, and is too powerful. The Deep State actors, of course, prefer to operate in the shadows, but this poll shows they are now in the light of day. They are now intent on diverting attention from themselves and directing it to Donald Trump, of course, and the Russians.

“This is real,” Mika Brzezinski said, suggesting that Trump “may be on to something” as he continues to call out the intelligence community and highlight their misdeeds and failings.

“The attacks against the so-called deep state … by the president and some Republicans actually might be taking hold,” Brzezinski told viewers.

“America is an idea, it’s not a democracy, it’s not a republic before it is an idea,” said analyst Mike Barnicle.

“And the idea that 74 percent, according to the Monmouth University poll, believe there is a deep state run by a military-political intellectual hierarchy, apart from government, and this is the gift we’ve gotten from Donald Trump.” Barnicle continued to spout.

“This is the gift we’ve gotten from him surrendering to Vladimir Putin and causing chaos in the country.” Barnicle charged.

Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haas declared that “This is not happening in a vacuum,” expressing concern over how a mistrust in a deep state among Americans would affect foreign policy.

“Over the next two or three months this administration is going to face three enormous decisions, what to do about these tariffs, and what to do about the Iran nuclear agreement, and the idea that it is consumed by this chaotic churn of people and what to do about this investigation, the combination of the two, again, this is about as bad as it gets.” Haas complained.

Those statements come from a MSNBC video with none other than Mika Brzezinski, daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was a founder of the Trilateral Commission and a Deep State player. Robert Haas, President of the Council on Foreign Relations, is another Deep State player.

It is laughable to see Deep State players claiming that the Deep State is a “conspiracy theory”, and that it is an invention of Donald Trump. That 74% of the Monmouth Poll respondents realize that the Deep State exists, by whatever name we give it, is very encouraging. That in the face of this public recognition of its existence the Deep State players continue to call it “conspiracy theory” shows they are in panic mode. They have no other excuse, or explanation, to fall back on. For Mike Barnicle to attempt to bring Vladimir Putin into the picture shows just how desperate the Deep State is.

As Trump continues to drain the swamp, more and more filth is being exposed.
My suggestion is to invest in Kimberly-Clark as sales of Depends undergarments is going through the roof because these folks are wettin’ their pants!

It’s no wonder most Americans are aware of the deep state. Most have seen its counterpart at work in corporations and the military. No matter who is at the top, the work gets done by senior and middle managers who may not have the same goals as top leadership. If they oppose top management, actual operations will not comport with top policy and may actually undermine it. It takes a highly skilled manager/leader to align the workforce with his/her goals. If he/she fails at that, they might as well tune up their resume.

I fear the seeds to the Deep State were planted at the very foundation of this country. We are all students of human nature and, let’s face it, not every intention is good and benevolent specifically in the political/ruling elite realm of society. In the word’s of Jesus:
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (Matthew 3:10 KJV)
The roots of the Deep State are vast and deep, and lots of chopping will be necessary for a very long time to take this tree down once and for all.

Aside from the double bladed ax and hatchet (2 + 1 = 3), I have three splitting malls, the big ones…but for ” “deeper” jobs I have three STIHL chainsaws. And for the deepest rooted of stumps, those require something explosive. All Biblical….and thank Matthew 3

The fruit of Marxists posing as teachers in social re-engineering factories posing as schools for the past, what…60 years?? We need to re-take the “Public Square” in our local communities, and win back the hearts and minds!

They take orders as if momma told ’em, you’ll get a spanking if you don’t mind momma…

There is absolutly no transparency,
There is absolutly no accountability,
There is absolutly no morality,
There is absolutly no embrace of constitutionality,
There is absolutly no American pride displayed to American viewers, by the dismayed media conglomerate puppet mouthpieces….

There is absolutly no way to control,
the out of control…..

When we have a 61 year old man, and sitting Governor, lying down in the streets of Manhattan with children, acting like a child, advocating for gun control, we have a very serious constitutional crisis gripping our nation and,
A very ignorant Governor…..

No warrant granted or needed,
There is where that ‘ol “War on Terror”, comes in remember…….?

Probably that guy that works at Burger King, or Wal-Mart,
Maybe even your spouse,
Gotta focus on the Amish dairy farmer down the road too….
